Open seasonally, Wilderness Shumba is the most luxurious camp in the entire Kafue National Park and offers you an unforgettable experience of the African wilderness. Six comfortable tented suites in rustic bush chic style offer exotic outdoor showers and private verandas with epic views of the beautiful Busanga Plains and their wild inhabitants. Professionally guided game drives, hikes, and boat trips bring you close to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos. Back at camp, recharge your batteries with traditional Zambian meals and refresh yourself in the communal pool.
Covering an impressive 22,400 square kilometers, Kafue National Park is one of the largest parks in Africa. The great rivers, miombo forests, and seemingly endless grasslands are home to majestic lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, hippos, and over 500 species of birds. Game drives, guided hikes, and boat tours bring you up close and personal with this fascinating natural world. Back at camp, you can take a dip in the communal pool, book a massage, or spend your evenings gazing up at the spectacularly clear starry sky.
The camp offers six luxurious tented suites, including one family unit with two bedrooms, all set on raised wooden platforms. The accommodations are spacious and comfortably furnished, featuring a double bed or two single beds, an open bathroom with exotic indoor and outdoor showers, and a private veranda with a cozy seating lounge. The view of the untouched landscape and African wilderness takes center stage – even while showering, your attention may be spontaneously drawn to an animal scurrying by in the distance.
The dedicated kitchen team conjures up unique dishes every day, mainly based on Zambian cuisine and featuring numerous seasonal and local ingredients. Most meals are prepared over an open fire and then served outdoors in the idyllic boma. A hearty bush brunch in the plains is an unforgettable experience, as is a refreshing signature cocktail by the pool while the sun paints the sky deep red on the horizon.
During the dry season from June to October, Wilderness Shumba, located in the vast Kafue National Park, offers an outstanding starting point for a unique safari experience. Six comfortably furnished tented suites, set on raised wooden platforms, can accommodate a maximum of 14 guests, guaranteeing a high degree of peace and privacy. Your private veranda with comfortable seating offers unforgettable views of the picturesque Busanga Plains – home to numerous wild animals such as cheetahs, zebras, elephants, and hippos. Thanks to its location in the heart of the national park, you may even see a few lions roaming in the distance from time to time.
